After attending the Goanna Gold prospecting muster held at the Burrendong Dam, I made some new friends to go metal detecting with. My new friend Terry was very keen to come along with me to get some pointer's on using his new GPX 5000. So, Terry came down on a Friday night to plan our very important trip to the gold fields the next day.

I was perfectly happy and content to be swinging around the bush with my GPX-4500. I am a part timer, but with a lot of years under my belt. I had picked up over 3 ounces with the GPX-4500 and things were just peachy.

We did buy a Minelab GPX 5000 and from the day we got my detector, it only took 2 weeks to find more than 550 grams of gold. We just couldn't believe that it could be so easy to use and find so much gold with a GPX 5000, even my father is using the detector to find gold.

The second time I had ever gone out metal detecting with my dad, we were with his mate Chris, dad and Chris always are very competitive towards each other. So of course it was on to find the biggest nugget.
